Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho explained going with Petr Cech over Thibaut Courtois for their Capital One Cup final victory against Tottenham.
Chelsea enjoyed a 2-0 win at Wembley.
"I chose him because this was his competition, we made a decision to make Courtois our first-choice keeper because he is the young one, the future and he is amazing for his age," said Mourinho.
"We said this would be Petr's competition, but when I started giving him a Champions League or Premier League match now and again, I opened the door for myself to play Courtois in this competition. I wanted to play him away at Liverpool and we were successful with that.
"They are both doing so well that everybody feels comfortable with every decision. I try to be fair and Petr deserved to play today but we all know Courtois deserves the cup as much as him."
